Anita brings to the OTW team experience of over 10 years supporting unique children in an education setting. 

She has a Certificate IV Allied Health Assistant – Occ Thy; a Certificate III in Education Support and has also completed 70 hours training in Just for Kids Yoga as well as Yoga Therapy for individualised needs. Passionate about incorporating yoga into the lives of children, she brings her own childlike enthusiasm to build awareness, movement, mindfulness, breath and fun into a program.

Anita is OTW’s Interoception Guru, and with her gentle, fun and encouraging ways she helps children and teens develop awareness of internal sensations such as thirst, tiredness, hunger, toileting sensations right through to awareness of emotions in our body.

With defined OT goals this practise can offer tools to support healthy development, physical, social and emotional confidence as well as working towards building community.

For fun, Anita likes to jump out of planes.
